3 Transport/Temporary Storage/Disposal
3.1 Checking the condition upon delivery
1.
On transfer of goods, check each packaging unit for damage.
2.
In the event of in-transit damage, assess the exact damage, document it and
notify
KSB
or the supplying dealer and the insurer about the damage in writing
immediately.
3.2 Transport
DANGER
Improper transport
Danger to life from falling parts!
▷
Only transport the motor in the specified position.
▷
Always use all lifting lugs available at the motor during transport.
▷
Always screw in lifting lugs (lifting eyebolts) up to the contact face and tighten.
▷
Use suitable, permitted lifting accessories.
Only remove any transport locks provided prior to commissioning and store or
disable. Use transport locks for additional transport tasks or re-enable.
To transport motors weighing more than 25 kg, suspend them from the lifting tackle
as shown.

3.3 Storage/preservation
Exposed metal parts
Exposed locating surfaces (shaft ends, flange faces, centring spigots, connector
contacts) are treated with a layer of temporary corrosion protection (< 6 months) for
transport. Take suitable corrosion protection measures for extended storage periods.
Storage period
Rotate the shaft once annually to avoid permanent standstill markings. Extended
storage periods decrease the service life (increase ageing) of the grease applied to
the rolling element bearings.
Closed rolling element
bearings
Replace closed rolling element bearings after 48 months of storage.
